Regenwetter, Michel; Dana, Jason; Davis-Stober, Clintin P.; Guo, Ying – Psychological Review, 2011
Birnbaum raised important challenges to testing transitivity. We summarize why an approach based on counting response patterns does not solve these challenges. Foremost, we show why parsimonious tests of transitivity require at least 5 choice alternatives. While the approach of Regenwetter, Dana, and Davis-Stober achieves high power with modest…

Asparouhov, Tihomir; Muthen, Bengt – Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2009
Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) is a frequently used multivariate analysis technique in statistics. Jennrich and Sampson (1966) solved a significant EFA factor loading matrix rotation problem by deriving the direct Quartimin rotation. Jennrich was also the first to develop standard errors for rotated solutions, although these have still not made…
